this was really great! i was in guys and dolls once too, but that was 5ish years ago. You are an amazing singer and i loved the way you staggered on 'passing out the whiskey.' best Nicely Nicely i have seen so far. the only good part of ours was he brought real food. It also made me laugh a little at the end when they were lifting you to be higher whilst singing 'sit down!' once again great job. you are very talented. ^_^
i liked it a lot you have a great voice, when i did it the cast around me wasnt that great (the leads were good cept or nathan, the rest of the cast was lack luster). you blow my singing out of the water
Pretty cool. It seemed like Nicely had a little difficulty with some of the higher notes, but he was on for the rest. Not a whole lot of chorus choreography though.
im playin nicley at the moment. and the only fault i have with this performance is that there are no level's in his voice. for example "i dreamed last night" should not be sang full voice . its all at the same level
Wow, you have an amazing voice! You seriously have a huge chance of being on Broadway, your so good! I played Adelaide in our school's version of Guys and Dolls :) But Anyway, AWESOME job, best voice i've EVER heard!
Very well sang! I'm playing Nicely in my school's version of Guys and Dolls. I'm sure you've heard of the school, Hannah Beardsley? Anyway it was in in the District you most likely went to for grade school and middle school. As for the singing, once again, excellently performed and great choreography!
you were fun to watch. scratchy in places and a little stiff, but it's broadway right? it's supposed to be entertaining and that's what you delivered so thumbs up! :) i'm a a broadway review and we're doing this specific production number. i'll take, from this, what i can. thanks! :D
GOD, I miss this show. I was Nicely, and as the shyest girl (yes, I'm a girl...we had no capable tenors) in the world, I hated this song until opening night. SO much fun to perform, and the applause...I feel like you could butcher this song, and people would still love you. Great job!
This a man among boys. This is one of the greatest performances of this song I have ever heard. I hope this kid knows where his voice could take him. He has a truly amazing voice, this is not any ordinary gift.
some of you guys need to just shut the hell up. I saw this show (in cape cod) eight times in one week. you guys dont know talent when you see it. This guys got talent so go eat a hot dog or something.
dude, yer really good and you did sang this song really well.
Haha this is really weird, the nicely in my production put on this nasal stereotypical american voice and its really funny to hear a nicely that sounds.. normal :P
why does everyschool skip general cartrights high C note in the end.our opening night for this was tonight actually and i had to do it.pissed off he wouldnt let me skip it.its all i worry about the whole show.lol
Those are big words from someone without a clip to prove it.
SiNFury, I think you did a great job!
and it doesn't matter who is better than whom. It's great that people have a love of theatre and keeping it alive. We should be more supportive and not so childish. If you honestly feel you are better, then keep it to yourself and thank God (or whoever you believe in) for blessing you with talent.
OK, I'm off the Soap Box now if anyone else needs it. :-)
Heh, thanks for your kind words elwilliamson. I generally don't fight back on my own videos because I have people like you to back me up :P. I realize this isn't perfect, I realize there are better people...I just do this because I love to do it. It's been three years now since I performed this song and it still remains one of the songs I miss performing (even if it is out of my comfort zone as a bass).
The background in this play is really good!!! Some of you may remember that I said I tried out for Nicely- Nicely Johnson last week on Tuesday. Well, today, I got the part!!!!! I'm so excited!!!
This is really good! My school is doing this show this year, my best friend got Nicely and I got the General, so I'm really excited that we get to do this scene together.
I just got back from my audition! I think I got the part! There was only one other kid trying out for the same part and he can't really sing. I can sing better than him but we both act really well!
Yeah, me too. This is my first year in drama club and I wanted to be Nicely- Nicely- Johnson, but there's another kid that's been in drama and he's good and he's trying out for Nicely- Nicely Johnson.
I just nailed this part for our skewl play and this song is so fun to do kuz the whole caast just starts to get into it. nice job. i'll try to be like ur nicly kuz i don't like the fat always eating version of him
It was actually the directors idea to have me play this off as if I was pulling the whole thing out of my ass...which is pretty much what Harold Hill does in Music Man I guess.
i was actually impressed, and i was surprised at that. nicely needs to develop a vibrato, the straight tone voice makes you sound way too young. check my guys and dolls clips.
I was 18 at the time, but the real kicker is that I'm actually a bass. I'm a lot more comfortable an octave down from this song. I really had to stretch for it, which I know was wrong, but so was casting a bass in a tenor roll. Had a lot of fun with it though.
yea so I got nicely at my highschool and idk kinda nervous about the high notes in this song haha but you did it pretty well if i must say. I also heard this song makes the show.. and fugue for tinhorns is fucking weird.. but good job.. almost inspirational
I must disagree that this performance is not great... don't like the backsinging and Mr. Nicely scoops way too much and goes flat too much to be acceptable.
Excellent, Mr. Nicely! Everybody else needed more energy, especially at the end. When we did it at my highschool we were dancing on the chairs, we kept that part with the chanting and the chick who hits the high C, and it really crescendoed to the end, like it's written. Still, you were way better than our Nicely, who could hardly hit the high notes and he's supposed to be a tenor.
General Chorus, Missionaries, Crapshooters, Hotbox Girls, (Arvide, General Cartwright, Brannigan, Agatha), (Harry the Horse, Big Jule, Benny Southstreet, Nicely...Benny and Nicely get an extra bow), Nathan Detroit and Adelaide, Sky Masterson and Sarah
Nice set... pleasantly boring. What happened to physicality in your performance, You look fifteen years old walking around like that...stand still for doughnuts sake.
I agree you do have guts to put this in such a public domain, but criticism is something actors get time and again. So if you don't want to hear criticism then don't post something where over a billion people can see it. And if i could post the version i did, then believe me i would
Nicely (and benny) is the stupid comic foil to Sky's coolness and Nathan being a loveable rogue, you just look like a wannabe sky. Nicely isn't a deep character you can have wildly different interpretations to (ones that work anyway) You seem like a lounge singer not because of your voice, but because of your mannerisms . The sly grin and it seems like your practicaly winking at the audience half the time. Now i think these are all fair points.
Eh? Nicely isn't a smarmy lounge singer. It's just wrong, he's playing it as if he's trying to be Sky ( the part i think he wanted), when he is supposed to be the quirky comic relief. The chorus have no enthusiasm, the choreography was dull, and the set was pretty poor as well. I've played this part myself and seen it done by a few different actors in the West End as well, so i do have a basis for comparison here.
Actually I kinda wanted Nicely from the beginning. He has as many songs as Sky, and he was a fun role to play. I'm kind of confused as to how you think I came off as a lounge singer in this. Because I'm a Baritone? Why such a negative outlook on Highschool theatre? Why must people be tough guys over the internet? At least I have the guts to post up videos and stand by my work.
I don't have a negative outlook on high school theatre. I was nicely in a production with a youth company last year (big julie was played by a thirteen year old and he rocked like you wouldn't believe) I'm not being a tough guy, I'm just stating my opinion and i stand by it. Go see this show done professionaly and you'll get an idea for how the part should be played. Nicely isn't really a deep character that you can bring wildly different interpretations to.
The more you sing in that range, the more your voice gets used to it. It wasn't too pretty at the start of rehearsals and even that performance wasn't great, but at it was at least presentable. Just don't push it...if your voice feels tired from singing that high, give it a rest. After weeks of singing that range it should be easier
Hey, good job. Nice voice - and most impressive that you sang and trusted those guys for a standing lift! Your energy and enthusiasm for the song is what sold it. Nicely done. (No pun intended.)
You're a great singer, but my school just did this and there was A LOT more energy in the scene. I think the rest of the cast could have done more, but other than that, it's still really good. Your guys' set looked pretty good too.
wow. that was incredible. your voice is absolutely amazing, a real gift, and your acting and stage prescence are great too. anyone who says your not good is just stupid or jealous!
Thank you for putting all these videos on here. I'm doing a project on Guys and Dolls, and I had to get a hold of the movie, but I couldn't. Now I have an idea of how the sets look like, and how the songs sound like (I'm in stage crew and I have to make a set design for competition). Thanks again.
My school is doing it too right now. I thought I'd see different versions of it. You know, great job, great acting and everything. But the song could be slower. And less...forced.
Wow. I'm pretty impressed. My theater group is putting on Guys and Dolls right now. We finally got this song down...Haha. Congradulations. Like I said before. I'm impressed.
Nicely done! Interpretation is better than most professional productions. Develop the voice a little more and you're on your way to Broadway!

Nice set... pleasantly boring. What happened to physicality in your performance, You look fifteen years old walking around like that...stand still for doughnuts sake.

I agree you do have guts to put this in such a public domain, but criticism is something actors get time and again. So if you don't want to hear criticism then don't post something where over a billion people can see it. And if i could post the version i did, then believe me i would

Nicely (and benny) is the stupid comic foil to Sky's coolness and Nathan being a loveable rogue, you just look like a wannabe sky. Nicely isn't a deep character you can have wildly different interpretations to (ones that work anyway) You seem like a lounge singer not because of your voice, but because of your mannerisms . The sly grin and it seems like your practicaly winking at the audience half the time. Now i think these are all fair points.
mrmopple1 4 years ago
Eh? Nicely isn't a smarmy lounge singer. It's just wrong, he's playing it as if he's trying to be Sky ( the part i think he wanted), when he is supposed to be the quirky comic relief. The chorus have no enthusiasm, the choreography was dull, and the set was pretty poor as well. I've played this part myself and seen it done by a few different actors in the West End as well, so i do have a basis for comparison here.
mrmopple1 4 years ago
Actually I kinda wanted Nicely from the beginning. He has as many songs as Sky, and he was a fun role to play. I'm kind of confused as to how you think I came off as a lounge singer in this. Because I'm a Baritone? Why such a negative outlook on Highschool theatre? Why must people be tough guys over the internet? At least I have the guts to post up videos and stand by my work.

I don't have a negative outlook on high school theatre. I was nicely in a production with a youth company last year (big julie was played by a thirteen year old and he rocked like you wouldn't believe) I'm not being a tough guy, I'm just stating my opinion and i stand by it. Go see this show done professionaly and you'll get an idea for how the part should be played. Nicely isn't really a deep character that you can bring wildly different interpretations to.

i was just cast as nicely in my school's production of G&D. I'm nervous for this song, because I don't have the same range as you. Great job, though!
dtroll 5 years ago
The more you sing in that range, the more your voice gets used to it. It wasn't too pretty at the start of rehearsals and even that performance wasn't great, but at it was at least presentable. Just don't push it...if your voice feels tired from singing that high, give it a rest. After weeks of singing that range it should be easier

you're pretty dang good. maybe you could add some vibrato on the end of the longer notes. that'd be awesome.

Hey, good job. Nice voice - and most impressive that you sang and trusted those guys for a standing lift! Your energy and enthusiasm for the song is what sold it. Nicely done. (No pun intended.)
gaudete 5 years ago
you're pretty good, but the overall performance was brought down by your fellow actors, the set, and the pit.
aemorniel 5 years ago
You're a great singer, but my school just did this and there was A LOT more energy in the scene. I think the rest of the cast could have done more, but other than that, it's still really good. Your guys' set looked pretty good too.

You have a lovely voice.
Thank you for putting all these videos on here. I'm doing a project on Guys and Dolls, and I had to get a hold of the movie, but I couldn't. Now I have an idea of how the sets look like, and how the songs sound like (I'm in stage crew and I have to make a set design for competition). Thanks again.

My school is doing it too right now. I thought I'd see different versions of it. You know, great job, great acting and everything. But the song could be slower. And less...forced.
